After a year of silence, the Ninfest Nation Podcast makes a triumphant return! Streex and Triz getting back to podcasting is like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird coming out of retirement. This webisode is all about E3 and lots of opinions on which presentations were the best...and worst. Before getting into the main course, a little time is spent on what games we've been currently playing and wrap up the show with some impressions of the Best Buy E3 Nintendo Experience. Lots of time is spent talking about other consoles in this webisode but we promise to get back to talking 100% Nintendo on next month's podcast. Enjoy the show and play on, Player.

We just launched the Nation Line so you can call in your questions and comments, and you guys wasted no time to use it. Listen in as the first caller “calls” out Triz. This month we talk about the poll results on if you prefer 2D or 3D Mario, game review on Call of Duty: Black Ops for Wii, top 7 Wii games, our fond Wii launch memories, retro review on Abadox: The Deadly Inner War for NES, and your calls and emails. Play on, Player.

E3 is now over and we have more than enough games to cover. So many in fact, we had to change our usual podcast format. We dive into the usual games we are playing to start the show and end with your emails, but the rest in between is all E3 discussion. We cover the Konami, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, and both of Nintendo’s conferences. We also give out our scores for each. I’ll let you guess which one of us loved Nintendo’s presser and which one of us hated it. Enjoy the show! Play on, Player.

E3 2012 gets jumping next month so we decided to talk a bit about what we think we’ll see at this year’s big show. Also this month we talk about the poll results on do you play non-Nintendo consoles, game review on Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story for DS, top 5 games we want to play that were cancelled, E3 predictions, retro review on Final Fantasy 2 for Super NES, and your emails. Play on, Player.

The heated debate over the worth of Wii Music continues and I’m glad some of you out there come to the games’ defense! This month we talk about the poll results on what was your first Nintendo system, game review on Cyberbike: Cycling Sports for Wii, top 5 evil clones, the best of 2011 Ninfest game awards, retro review on Star Trek: 25th Anniversary for NES, and your emails. Play on, Player.

We threw down the challenge for our Zen Pinball 3D high scores to be beat and you guys wasted no time to prove your worth on the tables! Congratulations! This month we talk about the poll results on how often you comment on websites, game review on Wii Music for Wii, top 5 launch titles, the best of 2011 Ninfest game awards, retro review on Super Mario World for Super NES, and your emails. Play on, Player.

Happy New Year 2012! We’re back and ready to go for another year of podcast bliss. This month we talk about what was just added to the website, what games we are playing, big stories of the week, new releases, poll results on will you buy Nintendo Wii U at launch, game review on EA Sports Active: NFL Training Camp for Wii, top 5 greatest gaming rebirths, a look at the past, present, and future of the 3DS, retro review on Alleyway for GameBoy, and your emails.

We took last month off to prepare and put on our biggest marathon yet. When this podcast was recorded we hadn’t reached our goal yet, but now are pleased to announce we reached the $600 goal with $625 total. This month we talk about the poll results on how many hours a day you watch some kind of screen, game review on Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness for GameCube, top 5 games with music from real bands, Mega Man Marathon results, retro review on Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge for GameBoy, and your emails. Play on, Player.

September is here and the good games are starting to trickle in. I’m sure you all can’t wait for the holidays. Of course we had to talk about the big elephant in the room, being the 3DS Circle Pad Pro. Also this month we talk about the poll results on if you thought $250 was a fair price for the 3DS, game review on Excite Truck for Wii, top 5 crappiest Super NES games that we love, info on our Mega Man Marathon in October, retro review on Blaster Master for NES, and your emails. Play on, Player.

The second podcast in two months means we’re back on the monthly schedule. Hopefully that means listeners will return and send us more emails as we only had one this month. The 3DS had some troubles last month so it is only fair that we share our professional analysis on the situation. Also this month we talk about the poll results on if you will buy more games in 2011 than you did in 2010, game review on Yoshi’s Island DS for DS, top 5 ways Nintendo can save the 3DS, our thoughts on club.nintendo, retro review on Adventures of Tom Sawyer for NES, and your emails.
